New Werder coach Steffen: Aura farmer ensures smile!

Today, SV Werder Bremen brings a fresh wind into football, because on Monday afternoon Horst Steffen was introduced as the new head coach. At a press conference that took place in the presence of Clemens Fritz, the managing director of professional football, there was not only news about the coaching team, but also some amusing moments. A young reporter of the Bremen youth broadcaster "Bremen Next" caused some confusion with her questions, which were held in the slang of the youth.

Steffen was asked whether Werder Bremen is planning to sign an "Aurafarer" or "Baller". In the youth jargon, both terms described a player with a lot of charisma, or a technically strong, self -confident actor. The confusion could not be denied when Steffen forwarded the question to Fritz, who also asked for an explanation and smiled at the explanation. "There is a lot of potential in the current squad. We hope to use the next 'Aurafarer' yourself," emphasized Fritz.

A look at the squad planning

The season at Werder Bremen has now ended and the transfer phase is just around the corner. The change in the team becomes a hot topic, since some players like Milos Veljkovic, Oliver Burke and Anthony Jung will leave the club free of charge. In addition, loan players like André Silva and Issa Kaboré return to their clubs in Leipzig and Manchester. The future of Derrick Köhn remains unclear, since Werder has a purchase option for him.

On the other hand, there is hope in the form of the successful U19, which this season attracted attention as a cup winner and semi-finalist of the U19 championship. Players like Karim Coulibaly, Patrice Covic and Wesley Adeh are in the starting blocks to play at the professionals in the coming season. Steffen emphasizes that the squad planning is space for U19 talents, which means relevant progress for the club future.

activity on the transfer market

Werder Bremen is actively on the transfer market and has tangible plans for the coming season. The objective includes not only the obligation of new players, but also the generation of income. Talks with potential newcomers are already underway, and the age of the players does not play a crucial role. Steffen remains optimistic and emphasizes that the club is not closing and wants to develop the team.

The current transfer balance of SV Werder Bremen will also be interesting, since in the 2024/25 season the income is € 5.70 million and the expenditure at € 6.83 million, which leads to an overall balance of -1.13 million. In this eventful time, one has the impression that Horst Steffen is open to a new chapter in Bremen football at the top. The fans can be excited to see which talents and players will bring to Bremen for the next few weeks.

Werder Bremen is standing with numerous changes before an exciting summer. It will be interesting to see how the squad planning will develop and which new faces the green and white colors will increase. The season ends, but the path continues - and who knows, maybe the journey to the Bundesliga will soon start for an upcoming "Aura Signer".
